What films do you think would make excellent games. I know there is Die Hard etc., But what do you think of these -

Gone in 60 seconds

Gladiator

Lethal Weapon

Blade

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

What do you think? Any other suggestions?

What about Metal Gear Solid? Like it did on Playstation, people might prefer the stealthy approach rather than the traditional all-guns-blazing routine. If done properly the MGS would be much better than Mission Impossible for example. How would you have play Solid Snake?

The thing is with games based on films the game developers do not have the creativity to do levels. A lot of Bond films revolve around immense action scenes then a lot of the time have more quiet scenes. As a result game developers are very much restricted in making their game good without editing the storyline too much.

I don't think any film can make a good game really. Goldeneye of course is an exception. Out of all those though I'd have to say Gone in 60 Seconds but it would again be limited. Once you have stolen all the cars.. then what is going to happen in the game?

Gone in 60 seconds - Driver is already out (basically the same)

Gladiator - What type of game?

Lethal Weapon - 1st person shooter? Sounds good

Blade - Already one on the PS, apparantly it was poop

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon - A beat 'em up? Could be good



Anyway, most games based on films are pretty much bull plop, except of course Goldeneye ;)

First Blood (the first Rambo film).

It could be a mix of genres from beat 'em up in the police station, off road racer with the police car chasing the motorbike, stealth 'em up in the woods alongside some nice puzzle elements, and a combination of genres for the shootout in the town at the end.
